Total satisfaction August 14, 2008
Peter Holden (Aurora, CO United States)
The performance of this HDTV has been flawless. I chose to not get a 1080p set to save a little money, and this set has proven my decision right. I base that on the observation that at 9 feet away, where I sit, I cannot see the individual pixels. In fact, I have to be less than 4 feet to see them on this 50" screen. Be prepared, though, if you're new to HDTV sets. While your old analog set had almost nothing to adjust, these HD sets have many adjustments and settings. The manual is quite good, however. If you do need help, their customer service line answers quickly and the folks will talk you through it. Another plus for me was that "Consumer Reports" rates Panasonic HDTVs as the most reliable.
Incredible picture, awesome value June 23, 2008
Devang Thakor (Kyoto, Japan)
This TV is stunning! I connected it to DirectTV yesterday...just watched Star Wars Episode 1 broadcast in HD...amazing...picture was so good I almost actually liked Jar-Jar. br / br /I investigated HDTVs thoroughly before buying- here's how I picked this one. br / br /(1) Plasma vs. LCD. In this price range, the picture's better on plasma TVs, hands-down. LCDs are brighter and have more contrast, but that comes with a big sacrifice in terms of the amount of details visible in the image. The image is more lifelike and shows more detail on the plasma displays. Burn-in and screen life are much less of a concern with today's plasmas and should really no longer be used as a reason to go LCD. br / br /(2) Panasonic. The only plasma TVs with better images than Panasonic are the Pioneers, but those are way too expensive. The image just looks better than other plasmas...deeper blacks, more realistic colors, more details visible. br / br /(3) 720p. This was the toughest decision. I was really on the fence between 1080p and 720p. 1080p is obviously the higher resolution, and in this line-up the 1080p TVs have a 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio as opposed to the 15,000:1 for the 720p. However, these are just specs on paper; the HD channels only broadcast in 1080i or 720 p anyway, so it doesn't make a difference when watching TV. I haven't bought a blu-ray player yet and probably won't until the prices come down some more...so there's no advantage for me yet in DVDs. Finally, in reality, I am sitting about 8-9 feet away from the TV in my living room...at that distance, the difference between 720p and 1080p is not really noticeable anyway...even you have Blu-ray. So given these factors, I went with 720p because the cost difference was about $500. br / br /Some people have complained about the reflection/glare on the screen on this TV. At night (when I watch TV), there's not much reflection when the TV is on (I watch in cinema mode)- in dark parts of the screen you can sometimes get a bit of reflection, but it's not any different than that what you get with a regular CRT TV, and it doesn't detract from the viewing experience. br / br /I ordered from Amazon- the TV was shipped and arrived right on time. Spent this weekend watching...the HD channels look great on the 50 inch display. I also bought an HDMI-DVI cable and was able to very easily hook up my laptop to the TV- used the laptop to watch DVDs, and even Youtube looked good at 50 inches! I highly recommend this TV to anyone. You won't go wrong.

Panasonic TH-50PX75U 50" 720p Plasma HDTV br /I got this Plasma as a replacement from Circuit City for my first Panasonic 50" plasma TV that I paid $3200 for. The previous plasma's HDMI input went bad after 1 1/2 years. I have had this new TV for just 6 months and now the same thing has happened to this one. The screen just went green when using HDMI. It took 6 weeks and a lot of hassle to get the first replacement from Circuit City. One of the clerks there told me you have to complain for a month before they will replace the TV.
Best TV for your money! March 9, 2008
Eddie A. Nobles (Southern Pines, NC)
I have had this TV for over a month now and I love it. It replaced a dead Mitsubishi 52" DLP that was only 2.5 years old that cost twice as much. After my last mistake, I did much research before buying. br / br /What I found in all my reading is simply this. br /1. Unless you just have to keep up with the Jones, all you really need is 720P. Use your money to go bigger. Blueray is the only source that truly takes advantage of 1080P. Add in the cost of the moves, it is not worth it. br /2. No matter what make and model you read about, someone, somewhere has written a bad review of it. You will go crazy looking for a TV that everyone agrees is a good buy. br / br /With that said; I finally came to my senses and went to Consumer Reports.com for good advice. The Panasonic TH-50PX75U received the CR Best Buy award. I've had good luck with other Panasonic products so the answer was clear. br / br /I couldn't be happier with the decision. The picture is absolutely beautiful even if watching non-HD programming. The sound is excellent. Most importantly the price was very easy on the wallet. Throw in no taxes and free shipping, what a deal! Oh, but wait, with the 30 day price guarantee, I saved even more. br / br /Stop thinking about it and just do it. This is the best TV on the market for the price. br / br / br /
